About

Magaly del Carmen Yepes Trejos inherited Finca Balvanera after her father died in 2020. Taking over the farm was a challenge and Magaly faced an immense learning curve which she approached it with precision and a detail orientation honed from her training and experience in finance. Each tree was audited for age, condition, and expected productivity. Trees past their best life span were removed and replanted. Over the last few years, Magaly has established a coffee nursery which provides seedlings to replace the unproductive trees. This gives her full control of the varietals she is planting on her farm. Magaly has also begun construction of a micro mill which will enable her to process her coffee on the farm.

Grind Guide

Cafetière

A coarse grind also suitable for cold brew. We use the word cafetière, but this can also be referred to as a French press, plunger or press pot.

Aeropress slow

Suitable for making a long, filter style coffee, often brewed for a few minutes. Similar to our paper filter setting.

Filter

This is suitable for our paper filters and ceramic or plastic cones, along with other brands such as V60, Clever dripper and Melitta.

Stovetop

This is an espresso style grind suitable for use in hob top espresso pots such as a Bialetti or Grunwerg. Sometimes referred to as a moka pot.

Aeropress fast

This is also an espresso style grind ideal for brewing a short, concentrated, espresso style coffee in an Aeropress.

Domestic espresso

A fine grind for using in your home espresso machine. Grind requirements will vary depending on brand and model, but this setting aims to work for the majority of home setups.

Whole beans

For use in your home grinder!

If you use a different method such as a syphon or Chemex, require a custom grind or need some advice, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
